Rob did a nice job making sense of the last two years of conversation, but
it made me think twice about what is public about my views.  Did any of you
have the same reaction?

I believe everything I have said and my posts don't seem to be embarrassing
in any context I can currently imagine.  But things can be taken out of
context.  As a place to hone our ideas and a forum for free discussion, I
feel hesitant to have potential employers or dates (if this had been around
back when I was dating) or other people I might know casually know opinions
on deep and sensitive subjects without me knowing they even found it.
Bloggers seem to think sharing is the way to go, but many others don't
participate precisely because they can't control what happens to the
information once it is out in cyberspace. In the age of google (and yahoo,
Danny), is the internet a safe place to develop a social conscience?
